Southern Railway enamel Target Sign BROADSTONE. Ex LSWR station opened in 1872 as part of the Southampton and Dorchester Railway. Originally named New Poole Junction, with the extension to Bournemouth West and the abolition of the Wimborne 'reverse', it became an important junction for the LSWR and Somerset & Dorset Railways. Sadly the station closed in March 1966. Excellent condition throughout.
